Better link to gallery

Submitted by Admin on Wed, 2015-09-30 17:21

Since the upgrade, the link to a photo's gallery hasn't worked as well as it did before the upgrade.

eg if you look at today's photo, http://gwulo.com/atom/22678, after the upgrade the Gallery: link would take you to page: http://gwulo.com/taxonomy/term/806

I get a "new comment" email, but when I click the link I see "Page not found"

A few people have written in to say they've received the email alerting them a new comment has been added, but when they click the link in the email to read the comment they just see "Page not found".

This happens when, as Admin user, I've deleted the comment before you've had a chance to see it. There are two reasons this might happen:

The most common is that a spammer has posted a comment advertising something. I delete these as soon as I see them.

2. Duplicate comments

The latest one is 33207. Is there a reason for this?
